Exporting Timing Output Signals Using PFI Terminals

Signals with a * are inverted before being driven to a terminal; that is, these signals

Using PFI Terminals as Static Digital I/Os

1
On USB-6212/6216 devices, all PFI lines can be individually configured as static digital inputs or static digital outputs, called
P0.x.

• AO Sample Clock Timebase (ao/SampleClockTimebase)
• AO Pause Trigger (ao/PauseTrigger)
• Counter input signals for either counter—Source, Gate, Aux,
HW_Arm, A, B, Z
Most functions allow you to configure the polarity of PFI inputs and
whether the input is edge or level sensitive.
You can route any of the following timing signals to any PFI output
terminal:
• AI Convert Clock
• AI Hold Complete Event (ai/HoldCompleteEvent)
• AI Reference Trigger (ai/ReferenceTrigger)
• AI Sample Clock (ai/SampleClock)
• AI Start Trigger (ai/StartTrigger)
• AO Sample Clock
• AO Start Trigger (ao/StartTrigger)
• Counter n Source
• Counter n Gate
• Counter n Internal Output
• Frequency Output
Each input PFI line can be individually configured as a static digital input,
called P0.x. Each output PFI line can be individually configured as a static
digital output, called P1.x.
